This 3 peice wonder made the Pittsburgh Post Gazette(Saturday, Jan. 22 Issue)...The aticle talks about how they've recoverd from the "are they punk or not" battle after "Warning" was released..... Then it goes on to say that teen-agers all over love them, and some fans that started their Green Day record collection back 10 years ago when "Dookie" came out(like me), still have thier love for Green Day... check out the full article here: www.post-gazette.com/pg/05022/446251.stmI just felt like telling you guys....lol....

Green Day are a bunch of tree hugging anti freedom ponces.
I know I should be nice, but the anti american sentiment on Mtv is starting to piss me off

Mainly because thier 'politics' are front and foremost in thier lyrics.
And what you put in your head, wheather subconsciencly or consciencly, effects your way of thinking about the world.
I think alot of your generation is taking for granted how great a country America is, and how lucky you are to live in a place where you can write songs that make up lies about our public officals, and defame christianity and get away with it. If it wasn't for those with a 'redneck agenda' you'd be going to school everyday with A Nazi, a Japaneise rising sun or a Soviet flag flying in the courtyard. It's sickening the way bands like Green Day and Incubus forget those who died to give thaem that freedom, and are now taking steps to protect the very freedom they use to chastise the freedom fighters.
By the way, where was all the outcry from Greenday when Clinton was lobbing bombs into Iraq? When Clinton marched in and took Slobodon Milocovich out of power? They are hypocrites They hate Bush soley because of his ties to christianity, If they were truly aignst war, and hated it wheater or not a Republican or a Democrat was in office, I would respect thier beleif, there are some pascifists who are legitimate in that way. Bur Green Day's party lines are showing.
But you are correct, my opinion is my opinion, and needs have no bearing on what you think. But thier politics affect you wheather you admit it or not.
(unfortantly, those assclowns from Green Day are from my generation, so appearantly some people in Generation X aren't very wise either.)

Funny thing about the human brain, it picks up the content and stores it, whether you are listening to the content or not.
Don't take this as a personal attack, but isn't it a bit assinine to ignore lyrics?

why would that be??...Im a writer...of music and lyrics...I have a recording studio on my computer...I can turn the vocals(or drums or guitar for that matter), off at any time....I listen to green day's music for the simple fact that it gives me ideas for my bands songs......Just because I dont listen to the words...doesnt mean I cant learn fromt the music....
I hate Insane Clown Possee too...but I also own every album they ever made...
